Chef's Q(uick) Tips

Balsamic Vinaigrette is all the rage and for a
delicious reason! It is sweet, tangy, and
compliments so many dishes. For a new twist on
this classic dressing, whisk in a tablespoon or two of
our delicious
Roasted Tomato & Balsamic Dipping Sauce. This
versatile sauce can be brushed on grilled chicken or
fish, thinned with EVOO and then drizzled on vegetables,
or used as a pasta toss.

Roasted Tomato & Balsamic Dipping Sauce makes a
tasty sandwich spread. Made from quality extra virgin olive oil,
canola oil, cabernet and balsamic vinegars, tomatoes, capers and spices, our
Roasted Tomato & Balsamic Dipping Sauce is a
healthy alternative to mayonnaise. For a delicious Panini Sandwich,
brush one side of a thick slice of country bread with EVOO. Fill the
dry side of the bread with sliced turkey and add a large dollop of
Roasted Tomato & Balsamic Dipping Sauce. Top
with another slice of bread, brush the top with EVOO and grill till golden
brown. A slice of Provolone can be added if desired.

Brush both sides of a thick
slice of rustic bread with
Provencal Grapeseed Oil Bread Dipper
and grill in a Panini Press until golden brown. Serve with pasta or a
fresh vegetable salad.

Blend 1 part
mayonnaise to 2 parts
Sun-dried Tomato
Tapenade or Roasted Bell Pepper Tapenade.
Use as a spread on grilled chicken sandwiches!

Pour a puddle of extra virgin
olive oil in a shallow bowl or saucer. Add a couple of teaspoons or
more of your favorite Tapenade to the oil. Stir with a fork to blend.
Use as a dipping oil for chunks of warm Italian bread.

If you love lemon pepper as much as I do, then give my
healthier 'blend' a try! In a little jar, combine delicious, crunchy
Lemon Sea Salt - a
blend of Mediterranean Sea Salt and lemon peel and
Three Lemon Pepper.
It is so scrumptious - you'll find yourself using it over and over again.
Great on grilled chicken, fish, baked potatoes, and egg dishes.
